The Newcomer Program offers comprehensive services for students from Kindergarten through grade 12 who are new to the country. The program emphasizes the development of social skills, familiarization with school routines, and understanding of educational expectations within an authentic experiential setting. This approach is designed to prepare students for the continuation of their academic careers in their home school districts. In addition, we offer a Newcomer GED program for those students who are at least 16 years old and whose deficiency in high school credits makes them unlikely to achieve a high school diploma.
